Wohooo. Good question mate. Hope it's not too late for me to participate.

1) dampener or without? With. I prefer the 'thud' sound rather than 'ping'.
2) single or double backhand? Double on normal stroke, single if tak sempat or have to reach ball far away.
3) nike or adidas? Nike. I like their overall design better.
4) topspin forehand or flat forehand? Depends. Flat forehand from middle of the court would be great.
5) open stance or close stance? Depends. But usually it's closed stance for me.

Hehehe. Yo vobs, what's your FB? 

1) dampener or without? Depends, for some racqs i prefer with dampener and yet for some i prefer w/o to get more feel. but Generally dun like the ping sound.. like the "thud" sound. However i usually luv the in-between feel w/o sacrificing too much on the feel. Thus i prefer the rubberband dampener .

aha!!!nice one bro ck..haha...kk...i listen to both sophis n ck...so i wear sexy knight armor k???hahaa... XD

oi..koko bro..so rude...hahaha...

pinky bcareful.. koko bro got huge arm.. he can choke slam u with tat arm..

bro, just imagine some of em add some pink bedazzled to it.....fuhhhhhh 

aha..erm,i mean..if de string(either main or cross) putus rite,de whole stringbed(both main n cross) more or less wil lose its tension..if it breaks on de cross,de main wont be affected as much as it does on de crosses(crosses lose more tension den de main),and yup,vobs is right..de tension wil lose its tension eventually,depending on de strings u use..normally poly wil lose its tension mb 5% den stay constant for very long..de strings wil lose its tension,bro yan told me it's better to play as soon as u get ur racquet so tat u can get to hit n de knot wil get tighten..n less further loss of tension..n u shudnt wait til it putus den u baru go string up,IF u oly wanna string de cross cuz de tension wil lari more..if u wanna string de whole thing,den jus wait til putus larr..

hopefully tis time u might understand more..haha...sorry i'm not good in explaining... :3
